Title: Born of Darkness
The gentle hum of your laptop fills your room. Another late night of scrolling through fan fiction communities, reveling in the intricate worlds carefully constructed by peers. You smile at artwork of Alastor, the cunning and charismatic Radio Demon from Hazbin Hotel, finding comfort in the familiarity of his devilish grin.
Your amusement is short-lived. The screen flickers, and a chill runs down your spine as static fills the monitor. You squint, trying to discern the ghostly image forming from the interference. Against all logic and reason, the image steps out of the screen, a towering figure elegantly dressed in his unmistakable red pinstripe coat.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Alastorâs voice crackles with vintage charm, sending a shiver through your bones. "An artist delighting in my image, yes? How delightful!"
You stumble backwards, tripping over the tangled cords on the floor. This canât be real. Your heart pounds in your chest, terror coursing through your veins.
Without warning, Alastor snaps his fingers, and a vortex of black magic engulfs you. You scream, but it feels like the sound is ripped from your throat, swallowed by the encroaching darkness. Instantly, the world around you changes, the colors bleeding into something new, something much darker. Struggling to your feet, you realize you are no longer in your bedroom, but in the twisted depths of Hazbin Hotel.
"You took such joy in the transformation of my likeness," Alastor sneers, his red eyes glowing with sinister glee. "Now, it's time for you to learn what it truly means."
An unbearable pain rips through your body. You doubles over, screams wringing from your mouth, the agony unimaginable. Your skin tingles and burns, your bones shifting, elongating. You clutch your head, trying to push the teeming voices and visions out, but they surge stronger, rewriting your very essence.
Your height accelerates, bones popping and cracking into place, making you seven feet tall. Your skin fades to an eerily beige hue, your limbs and torso stretching into abnormally thin shapes, your shoulders broadening. Looking at your clutching hands, you watch in horror as they morph into clawed fingers stark red at the tips, all but four fingers vanishing.
âNo, no, this canât be happening!â you cry out. But the voice that escapes your mouth is not your own. Itâs a bizarre echo of Alastor's, dripping with the same radio static. The realization strikes fear into your heart as your scream morphs into uncontrollable laughter, your mouth impossibly wide, crammed with sharpened yellow teeth that refuse to frown.
"Ah, yes... struggles can be quite amusing, but they are futile," Alastor mocks, amusement dancing in his wicked red eyes. "Accept what you are, brother."
Brother? The word circles in your mind, gnawing away at the remnants of your identity. Memoriesâno, not your memoriesâflood your thoughts. Being a radio host, the joy of mocking societyâs darker side, the thrill of the hunt, the decadence of your motherâs jambalayaâitâs all there, vivid and immutable.
Desperate, you try to clutch onto the scraps of yourself. "Iâm not... Iâm not Alastor!" you holler, but the words ring hollow, dissolved by the relentless onslaught of who you now remember you are. Your soul is caught in a tug-of-war, and you feel yourself slipping, slipping...
Fog clouds what you believe was your own memories, until only Alastorâs remain, burning brightly, vividly. Yes, your motherâs cooking, the sumptuous smell of jambalaya. The satisfaction of capturing your victims mentally before their bodies followed. You remember all too well, the journey to Hellâa journey thatâs come full circle now.
With a jarring finality, the transformation is complete, and your mindâno, Alastor's mindâis serene. You smile with satisfaction, wicked and uncontrolled, as the memories pulse warmly within you. The Alastor before you now seems less an enemy and more a brother.
"Welcome back... me," Alastor says with a wild grin, extending his outstretched hand, each of your movements mirroring his like synchronized macabre ballet. "We shall entertain Hell together, dear brother. Now, comeâwe have important âactsâ to prepare."

Epilogue:
Together, youâboth of youâmaneuver the labyrinthine halls of Hazbin Hotel, mirth laced with malice in every step. Charlie Morningstar looks pleased to see twin helpers by her side, even if one of them had been manufactured by some divine or devilish right you had no means of understanding.
"I believe we can make a difference!" Charlie says, her optimism at odds with her surroundings.
Vaggieâs glaring distrust meets your perpetual grin, to which you respond, "Ah, young love's labor, we shall not take it lightly."
Angel Dust scoffs as he struts by, "Two Radio Demons for the price of one? Great, just what we needed," his sarcasm palpable.
Your grin widens in response, fingers twitching with the eagerness to performâboth for an audience and for the simple, unholy joy of it all.
And Nifty, bouncing in her frenetic energy, chirps, "It's twice as nice to have two of you! Thereâs so much to clean!"
"Yes," you reply in the static-laden voice you've accepted as your own. "Twice the enthusiasmâand twice the fun."
Brothers born of sin, your voices harmonize into the ancient, crackling radio ether, ready to charm and terrorize Hell anew.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the human reader turning into an identical clone of Alastor (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with gender change (if the reader is a female), instant clothes change, age change (becoming the age of 30s-40s years old, exactly as left off from Alastor's death from his human life in 1933, thus becoming immortal in the process), height progression (growing from a normal height to 7 feet tall), voice change, and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being permanently and completely replaced with Alastor's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting the new personality and memories, making him/her completely forget about his/her past self and only remember being Alastor the Radio Demon). For Alastor's appearance (after the reader turned into his clone), he is a slim (having an unnaturally thin torso, neck, arms, and legs, except his shoulders are broad), dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has an unnaturally broad smile (reaching from each cheek's upper area) full of sharp, yellow teeth (he has no ability to frown due to this permanent smile). He is approximately 7 feet tall. He sports a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown, which can grow in size in his full demonic form. Alastor's eyes have dark-red sclerae, bright-red irises and thin black pupils (which can change into the shape of radio dials when shifting into his full demon form). He also has four fingers (like all Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters), unlike real world humans. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoof-toed feet and red clawed fingers. Alastor wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice. His voice also sounds like it is coming from an old-fashioned vintage radio. Alastor has many supernatural powers, such as demon transformation (the ability to turn into a more powerful demon form), flexibility (able to contort his body into numerous unnatural poses), demonic magic (able to cast magic thanks to the high power-level he has accrued in the demon ranking system, this magic takes the visual form of glowing red symbols that resemble Voodoo veve, which float around him), shadow manipulation (able to summon shadows and manipulate them into doing his bidding), spatial warping (able to get around with the help of his shadow, allowing teleportation through this ability), portal creation (able to transport others to his location easily via the portals he makes), pyrokinesis (able to summon small balls of fire for display purpose), phytokinesis (able to make plants wilt with a single stare), manifestation, photokinesis (able to project red glowing light from his eyes as well as his microphone), and outfit alteration (capable of changing the outfits of his targets as well as his own with a snap of a finger). He is also capable of various other abilities including deal-making (as Alastor is known to be a deal-maker demon; deal-maker demons like Alastor can increase their power by dealing in souls, which is a very powerful commodity in hell, so theyâre seen as very manipulative and not to be toyed with, deal-making is not something every demon can do, as such it is not to be taken lightly as it doesnât generally work out well for the other party), broadcasting (when he was a living human, Alastor's profession was as a radio show host, and he continues his broadcasts in Hell as a demon, ensuring that Hell's denizens are aware of his activities over the airwaves, earning him the title of "The Radio Demon"), bilingualism (Alastor can speak English fluently as well as some broken Creole French), cooking (Alastor is noted to be "a big foodie" and mentions having admired his mother's cooking, specifically her Jambalaya), musical/dancing/theatrical talent (Alastor is known to display moderate vocal abilities and excels at dancing, with some people noting tap to be a style he excels in specifically, he also shows a flair for theatrical showmanship), and wide intellect (Alastor is known to be quite a cunning individual, resulting in him accruing a large amount of power through his tricks and deal-making). Alastor stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives the first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. Alastor's behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer and speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the picture show" and refers to Charlie as a "charming demon belle". This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations. The story is that Alastor is getting bored and wanted something new and more entertaining in Hell, and, most importantly, Alastor is getting sick and tired of seeing artwork and stories (online) of himself getting turned into other characters and creatures in both body and mind (sometimes from different series), which he views as distasteful. So to teach the reader a lesson, Alastor (by some supernatural means) briefly left the series' Hell and into the real life Earth to kidnap the reader and sent him/her to the world of Hazbin Hotel before using supernatural black magic at the reader which turned him/her into his clones, thus turning the reader into Alastor's identical twin brother (the reader notices that his/her grin was now unnaturally wide and permanent, the reader tries to push his/her grin down with his/her hands/fingers to get rid of the smile in order to frown or show fear but cannot due to making emotions other than smiling was completely impossible, the reader also tries to fight those new memories and personality of Alastor flooding the reader's head, the reader is horrified and not wanting to be completely transformed in either body or mind, but is fighting a losing battle, and the voice (identical to Alastor's voice) inside the reader's head tells him/her that this is his true self and he is waking up from his false human dream, making him truly and fully believe in the voice in his head and realizes that he had always been Alastor alongside the original Alastor, having been born as humans from the same human parents, enjoying their mother's cooking and their favorite food jambalaya, them both being radio show hosts and serial killers on Earth before they were both killed, both Alastor twins arriving in Hell as completely identical sinner demons nicknamed "The Radio Demons", as they continued their radio shows in Hell, and, despite finding Charlie Morningstar's (the princess of Hell) belief in redemption laughable, both Alastor twins want to help Charlie run the redemption hotel "Hazbin Hotel", albeit for their own amusement), and the reader's mind has also been completely replaced with Alastor's mind, before original Alastor welcomes his twin brother (the reader) back home. In the epilogue, the two Alastors (the original one and the reader) are in the Hazbin Hotel helping Charlie Morningstar with her redemption hotel ("Hazbin Hotel"), while also interacting with Vaggie (Charlie's girlfriend, who doesn't trust Alastor or his twin brother, while Charlie trusts Alastor), Angel Dust (an adults/pornographic film actor who's a male spider-like humanoid sinner demon), Husk (a male cat-like humanoid sinner demon with bird-like wings who is a co-worker for Alastor and whose soul is owned by Alastor and his twin brother), and Nifty (a small female cyclops-like humanoid sinner demon who is a co-worker for Alastor and is positively acquainted (Alastor's role having described as having a view of Niffty as like his "obnoxious adopted daughter", being a daughter figure for Alastor despite not being related)). There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc)
